Luna 2

So is Luna 2 the only Federation asteroid base, or is it merely the biggest? Aside from colonies the biggest Federation bases seem to be Earth. Were the other Space Bases destroyed in the conflict? Or did the Federation simply focuses on building more terrestrial bases?

On another note(SPOILER) what happens to Luna 2 after the Second Neo Zeon War? It never really gets mentioned in F91 or Victory. So was it destroyed during the Neo Zeons attack?

Re: Luna 2

Well, that's kind of a timeframe-dependent question... since the Federation greatly increased its inventory of such installations with ones captured from Zeon during the One Year War.

During the OYW, Luna 2 is the only one that gets mentioned AFAIK. There were probably a few other resource asteroids like it given that by the time of CCA we're up to at least Fifth Luna.

The Federation captured at least three major asteroid bases from Zeon: Solomon/Konpei Island, A Baoa Qu, and Pezun.

Re: Luna 2

Since Lunar II is always mentioned as the largest space base of EF, and you won't be able to compare if you only have one, you can safely assume there are others. The only problem is that we were never told it the others have been militarised. It seems like a base with its diameter larger than 180km is quite enough for their military activities, at least before the OYW. After the battle of Loum, it seems like EF only garrisoned in Lunar II and no other places, and Zeon didn't seem to make use of others as military bases(as no other have been mentioned), I'd say you can also safely assume the others are not militarised, at least to a degree where they can be considered a good garrison location.

And no, since it was not mentioned, you can place your bet on Lunar II being still intact afterwards. It'd be great news if it got destroyed, especially when it is so big. (Let me remind you of its size)

Consider in Moon Crisis they even try to destroy the moon, it is totally possible that some psychopath will come up with the idea of tossing Lunar II on Earth(yeah, someone call Gihren already threatened that in OYW) but at this point of writing, no such story exist yet, thus Lunar II is still safe and sound.

Re: Luna 2

You are aware the name is Luna II and not Lunar, right?

As for other bases, there's also Damocles. It was a base for the AEUG, but I'd assume the Federation took it over afterwards.
